Elliott's goaltending journey is one of perseverance and unwavering self-belief.

Elliott was playing for Ajax of the Ontario Provincial Junior A league when he was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the ninth round (No. 291) - the next-to-last player picked - in the 2003 NHL Draft.

Elliott went the college route, enrolling at the University of Wisconsin, where he was a backup for two years before earning the starting job. In his junior year, Elliott led Wisconsin to the 2006 NCAA championship and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given to college hockey's top player.

The 6-foot-2, 209-pound Elliott spent two-plus seasons with Binghamton of the American Hockey League before sticking with the Senators in the 2008-09 season. Prior to the 2010-11 trade deadline, Elliott was sent to the Colorado Avalanche but became a free agent at the end of the season and signed with the St. Louis Blues.

The Newmarket, Ontario, native spent five years with the Blues but never played more than 46 games in a season. In July of 2016, St. Louis traded Elliott to the Calgary Flames.
